Troubleshooting
Verifying your configuration
If your server is not operating correctly, the BIOS may contain an invalid
configuration parameter. Open the BIOS Setup utility and check your
configuration settings. (See “Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 57.)
Troubleshooting guidelines
As you troubleshoot your server, keep the following guidelines in mind:
■
Never remove the cover while the computer is turned on.
■
Do not attempt to open the monitor. Even if the power is disconnected,
stored energy in the monitor components can inflict a painful or harmful
shock.
■
If a peripheral device does not work, make sure that all connections are
secure.
■
If you see an error message on the screen, write it down, word for word.
You may be asked about it when calling Gateway Technical Support.
■
Only qualified personnel should open the server for maintenance.
■
If you are qualified to maintain the server yourself, make sure you are
properly grounded before opening the server chassis. See “Preventing
static electricity discharge” on page 15 for more information on
preventing electrostatic damage to the server.
Troubleshooting the battery installation
If you have problems after installing a new battery, try each of the items listed
below, restarting the server after each try.
■
Turn off the server and make sure that all exterior cables are attached
and secured to the correct connectors.
■
Make sure that all power switches are on. If the server is plugged into a
power strip or surge protector, make sure it is turned on also.
■
Enter the BIOS Setup utility and compare the settings on the screen with
your notes. Correct any discrepancies.
